YOUNG HOUSE REPORT This year our House was given the name of Young House after the founder of the old Ravenscourt School. We were extremely fortunate in obtaining the services of the Senior Master, Mr. Connell, as House¬ master. Academically and otherwise the house has had a good year. With the formation of a new group there is always a great deal of work from the organizational point of view, and I should like to thank Prefects Garry Savage and Bill Mollard, for their invaluable assistance in this undertaking. We have been gratifyingly satisfied with the degree of unity that has sprung up in the house among the boys, many of whom were total strangers to each other a few months ago. There has been wholehearted support from all members of the House in all programs. Academically we started the year by capturing the first half holiday for Honours and Stripes. As usual there was a house punishment for stripes, and the form penance was to take was put to a ballot by the house members at the beginning of the year. In athletics we emerged triumphantly with the trophy for the gym¬ nastics competition, which was to be expected as six of our boys were chosen for the special squad at the gym display. We lost by a narrow margin in inter-house rugby. There were no real new boys to Young House this year because we were all new boys in a new house, and we hope that some of our under¬ takings will carry on as the pioneering traditions of Young House. In Cadets, two out of three of the commissioned officers are from our house. The Captain of the Cadets is Bill Mollard, a house member and also the School Captain. We have not yet been fortunate enough to obtain a House ensign but are confident that one will soon be forthcoming. In closing I should again like to thank our Housemaster and the Prefects for their help and advice, and to the boys: all the luck and happi¬ ness in the world and a wish for your future success, this with all the sincerity in my heart. Thank you again for a wonderful year together. J. L. MARTIN. EAGLE Fifteen

GRADUATES BILL MOLLARD Bill is our School Captain and also the Company Commander of the School Cadet Corps. His pet peeve is being on time for study halls and yet he seems to be able to get to the telephone on time. Definitely not the indoor type, Bill participates in all sports. His future plans are unknown. ALAN DE JARDIN Alan has many a radical theory and many a blackout, so say the staff, but he is still the lad who dashes about with an “inspiration”. He conscientiously attends to his duties as Captain of Hamber House. Future days may see Alan attending St. John’s College. ANTHONY FERGUSON “Fergy”, as he is known by both boys and staff, hails from Saskatoon and demonstrates the true Western spirit in the dispensing of duties as Richardson House Captain, Eaton’s Junior Executive, and chief organizer of “labour gangs” about the school. Although he finds it difficult to keep his eye on his homework he never loses sight of a hockey puck. He is the first boy to win House Colours at the new school. Sixteen EAGLE
